Saturday Randomness: Fanonical Pairings
I'm writing an unexpectedly difficult story, and one of the reasons it's difficult is that the pairing is fanonical; the characters don't interact in canon. I'm writing it because it's hot because I like fanonical pairings, for many of the same reasons I like introducing people in real life.
Long ago, I was a member of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
bdotp, a community devoted to pairings of any/all characters played by two actors who'd achieved stunning chemistry in one particular canon, and I was very charmed by how compatible so many of their characters could be made to be. In my current fannish obsession, with such a big cast, there are many offscreen interactions that can be surmised even though they don't happen onscreen, and I really like that about it.
What about you?

It's also amazing how two actors can create characters that exist in wholly different fandoms that can be amazing in crossovers. A number of excellent crossovers were the result of the bringing together of other characters created by the leads of Due South.
Can't wait to see what you're working on.
Wanders off to go reread Tales of the City/Hardcore Logo crossover.
